Charlie And The Chocolate Factory
The Media Theatre · Media, PA
A family-friendly stage musical adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, following golden-ticket winners through Willy Wonka's fantastical factory, performed at The Media Theatre.
Expect a full-scale musical production in a 440-seat historic theater, with a cast of local performers bringing Wonka's factory to life through songs, colorful sets, and larger-than-life characters like Violet Beauregarde and Augustus Gloop. The atmosphere skews toward families and groups, with kids reacting to the visual gags and adults catching the humor and the Shaiman/Wittman score. It's a straightforward evening of musical theater — arrive early for the 7:00 PM curtain, and expect a crowd mixing grandparents, parents, and children.
